On January 21 the Servant of God, Sr. Francoise Therese (Leonie Martin), sister of St. Therese, was laid to rest in a new tomb in the Chapel of the Visitation Monastery in Caen, following Mass at which Mgr. Boulanger, Bishop of Seez, was the chief celebrant .

We know that pilgrims to Caen will be delighted to be able to pray at Leonie’s tomb in the main church of the Visitation Monastery. Previously her tomb was in the crypt and it was necessary to knock at the monastery door to gain admission.

We rejoice that ‘Poor Leonie’ has been recognised for her holiness and her faithful following of her sister St. Therese’s ‘Little Way’, which is so close to the teaching of the Visitation Saints, Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal.
